(AND OTHER PRESSING WORLD ISSUES)

Monday,



MUGSHOT MONDAY

 

Order in the court, it’s MUGSHOT MONDAY, the day that beauty violators are brought to justice!! To kick off this weekly series, we have a case that’s near and dear to my heart.  Karla Jones, my mother, has had a great year.  She’s celebrated her 60th birthday and also married the love of her life — and its only June!!   With such a busy schedule, Mamacita hadn’t had time to pamper herself.

Check out Karla’s rap sheet:

  • First I groomed her brows
  • creme facial bleach was used to lighten the brow color
  • Dermablend cover creme was applied under her eyes
  • Iman clay medium and earth medium pressed powders were used to set concealer
  • Nars sin blush was used on the apples of her cheeks
  • Lip color  was a mash-up of several different colors but
    Balm Shelter’s uptown girl was the topper


 

The look wouldn’t be complete without  KJ’s smile!!!

PATENT LEATHER LIDS

 

Oh how i love shiny, pretty things!!  So of course when I tried MAKEUP FOREVER’S FLASH COLOR No. 11, I fell in love with its patent leather quality. Its creamy texture requires a bit of attention, but ultimately the payoff is unadultareted rebellion! My inner bad gal cant wait to pair this shadow with liquid leggings for a night out dancing with the girls. In the meantime, I had the opportunity to test drive the shadow on Claudia. Here’s a behind the scenes video from that photoshoot with photographer  GIANLUCA FELLINI, beneath the brooklyn bridge!  Check out Jo-Jo the attack dog, but clearly, he’s not the only cutie pie in the video!!!    xoxo
